Check out the third car up on the right side of the photo...could it be a 1957 Commander or Champion Custom with the rubber windshield surround; i.e., no stainless-steel molding? The side trim and hood ornament look too fancy for a Scotsman, however. BP

Since I get the pictures, I don't know what is happening. How long has this been going on?

Fortunately Joe, not all your pics are blocked, but like Jeff said, perhaps from a certain source, or you are clicking an invalid link for our forum to recognize. Anyway, I scrolled back and the earliest one I found was back at post number 8834 posted on 5-09-17.

Interesting, if I right click on the x-d out icon on one of Joe's posts, and copy the path, then open it in a new window the picture is there.

But, I did have to uncheck the box that says "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" to be able to make it show up in this post.

I get my photos from all kinds of places and follow the same procedure each time. I just don't see why some work and others don't. I posted a couple of things from OldMotor and find they will not show here. I assume their photos are blocked not allowing people to use them elsewhere. I'll try to figure it all out.

Looks like you got it figured out, Joe. Great picture of an Old Station with concrete older than the Gas pumps in use at the time of this picture.

The odd thing is that I didn't do anything different. I think that some of the images I copied, or thought I had copied, are corrupted for some reason previous to me. There are sites that don't want you to use images they have posted. Of course I wonder how they got them and why they didn't post a don't copy notice. The even more mysterious thing, in my mind, is that the pictures folks here said they didn't get showed up on this thread when I opened it up. Curious.....

That was the second consecutive year Ted Harbit had won his class at "The Nationals," Dave. He won previously in 1966. He also won his class in 1962 and 1964, but had to settle for runner-up in 1963 and 1965.

After that 1967 win, he went on to win the next three years in a row; 1968, 1969, and 1970. So he enjoyed an unbroken string of five consecutive wins: 1966 through 1970.

1971 was the only year of eleven years (1962-1972) in which he was not winner or runner-up.

His weight class was eliminated for 1972. He was forced to run "up" one class against cars with a more favorable power-to-weight ratio if he wanted to compete in the 1972 National Drags, so he did! The 1972 Nationals, which he did win, was thus his favorite, beating a 283 Chevy station wagon (he doesn't remember if it was a '58 or '59) in the final round with his little 120 HP 232. "By rights" and mathematically, he shouldn't have been able to do that...but it was Ted Harbit, you know. BP
